You’re on the HCG Diet but do you know what you’re taking? Are you taking HCG “drops” or the ”sublingual” formulas?
What’s the difference?, you say. It makes all the difference when you’re talking to other people because they can give you bad advice just because their definition of “drops” is different than yours.
”Ms. Terri” (name changed to protect the innocent) was mad as a wet hen at me for another reason as well. Seems she thought I should have told her and everyone else that sublingual mixing kits don’t come with an eyedropper dispenser.
Below are a couple of snippets in my email to her about this issue.
Re: the sublingual eyedroppers you want: There’s a good reason they don’t come with the HCG sublingual mixing kits and it’s because
you’re supposed to precisely measure your “drops” each dose. And each dose = 0.5ml. As far as “putting 7 drops under your tongue…” where in the world did you get that?! That’s how you take homeopathic HCG, not pharmaceutical. No wonder you’re starving.
And please, while we’re at it, let’s stop this “drops” nonsense and just use the syringe that came with your kit (see next comment). Also, it may help you as well as those you’re talking to, if you start referring to your sublingual formula that you mix yourself as “sublingual HCG” and leave the “drops” reference to the homeopathic HCG shysters, since the word “drops” has been co-opted and corrupted by the homeopaths, anyway.
For me, as in my reply to a reader’s comment on my blog, when someone says “drops” I must first know what they mean by “drops” before advising them further.
If it’s sublingual REAL pharmaceutical HCG, I can help them because I’ve got the expertise. If it’s that homeopathic fake HCG crap, I can’t help because my best and first advice is to NEVER use homeopathic HCG in the first place unless you want to your muscle mass as the majority of that “weight loss!”
> 2- Perhaps a misunderstanding … have never used measurements to take hcg (or any other tincture) … stand in front of a mirror, let the drops come out of the dropper and drop under my tongue, counting them as they dropped. Are they supposed to be measured drops? Confusion again!
See, this is why you need a syringe. Not entirely sure where this “drops” business is coming from, but when using real sublingual HCG, you should be putting 0.5 ml under your tongue, holding it there for 5 minutes, twice a day – first thing in the morning and approximately 12 hours later. And “tincture?” OMG… you’re still using the homeopathic HCG crap, aren’t you? There are no “tinctures” in real, pharmaceutical HCG.
When To Take Your Doses
My body liked to have dose #2 about 9-10 hours after the first. You’ll know what your timeframe is by how you’re suddenly starting to get hungry. If you’re suddenly feeling hungry and you haven’t had dose #2, here’s your sign: that’s the time of day to take it. Once you’ve got that down, then note it and just schedule to start taking your doses each day around that time.
[In this next part she's responding to some good-natured ribbing I gave her about how she was handling her complaint about the exclusion of eyedroppers. She complained to me because it was my link but didn't complain to the company that could actually dosomething about it. Btw, no company includes measured eyedroppers in their sublingual mixing kits, that I know of.]
> Your reminder to take my comments to “the ones who can do something about it” is why I contacted you. Why you? Because I was following your instructions, your link, and that you have a vested interest of sorts in the purchases via your link, right?, I thought venting with you was informative and appropriate — wellllll, maybe venting was not apropos (apologies!) but thought you would be the one to do something about it
I didn’t say not to contact me about these issues, “Ms. Terri.” I do want to know what’s going on with their customers, whether they buy through my link or not. How companies treat the people that keep them in business tells you a lot about them.
That being said, I think you missed my larger point that you ALSO need to take your complaint to PE. The pecking order there would be PE first, and me second. Ultimately a complaint has more power coming from an actual customer rather than an advocate for the customer. I can’t do anything about what happens, other than insist they change it and then if it’s an showstopper issue, take my business elsewhere if they don’t.
In this case, I don’t think it’s a showstopper. Especially since the syringes are so readily available and already came with your kit, so why not just use those? As with anything in life and business, there are always unintended consequences to any action or change. I first need to know what the unintended consequences are of introducing droppers w/measurements before pressing the issue with them.”
So let’s take a poll — who wants special eyedroppers complete with measurement marks, like syringes? Are you willing to pay more for that convenience? Or are you just find with using the syringes you already paid for and are included with the kits?
